Just keeping plants watered. Started collecting Petunia seeds yesterday.

 

[marlingardener]

Watered the bell peppers, and picked a nicely sized one. Then I picked tomatoes, sorted them into ripe/need a day or two on the windowsill/ and damaged tomatoes for chicken treats.
Cleaned, halved, de-seeded, and gave a vinegar bath to the Romas that are going out tomorrow to be sun-dried. They are currently on drying racks in the kitchen--thank heavens for lots of counter space!

Did some cleaning and pulled some weeds.

 

[Verdun]

Picked tomatoes and a few pounds of runner beans, picked and ate the last of the blueberries and removed the net, cut off the last flowers from astilbes and now accept the scores of plants in 5 and 10 litre pots will not have homes this summer. Some will be destined for hospice stalls though so thats ok really.

 

[marlingardener]

Verdun, how good of you to donate plants for the hospice stalls! So many plants that need homes don't have an outlet, but you found a very good one.

I blew up a yellow jacket hive family with gas and a match. Ka Boom. all the property, all the 10 acre woods and they decide to set up shop in my garden.

 

[tbendl]

I had this whole "woe is me" Monday rant last Monday because I swallowed a bug and had to go shopping.
I was rewarded for my whining by having to have, both an AC guy AND a roofing guy at my house yesterday.
Sooo really all I've done is sit and drink a really tremendously large glass of wine in my garden.

 

[marlingardener]

Tbendl, at least you found the perfect cure for bad karma (AC and a roofer? That's enough to send a person 'round the bend!). Sitting in the garden with a large glass of wine is very curative. Of course, if you are doing it in the dead of winter you may need cold medicine later, but this time of year, go for it!

 

[tbendl]

Yeah yesterday was a bit rough. Lol
I was going to say tomorrow will be better but I have both a doctor AND a dentist appointment tomorrow.
I can't win this one.
We will shoot for a great Thursday. Hehe

I hope I get some ripe ones. It's been so cold at night here that they aren't setting much fruit, just making HUGE plants and lots of flowers.
